Oksana Baiul sued NBCUniversal for $5 million, citing that the network used her image and name to promote a show she was not involved with.

The suit also included Disson Skating, a production company she claimed used her likeness to promote two TV specials she never signed on for. The TV specials in question are a Dec. 15 show with rock band Styx and a Jan. 19 show with jazz artist Kenny G., both of which Baiul did not actually star in. 

In the suit, Baiul claimed her management was approached months earlier about joining the two shows, but said her rep told NBC that she was not interested in the contracted appearances.

She added that the network falsely promoted an appearance from her in marketing materials, press releases and radio ads without her consent. The award-winning figure skater said the false promotion was damaging to her career; making her seem as if she doesn’t follow through on her agreements.

“In the entertainment industry, when a figure skater, actress or entertainer does not show up for a scheduled, promoted and or/advertised show where they are the headliner or star, it can have a devastating effect on her career,” the suit said. “Being labeled as a ‘no show’ to a producer is monumentally worse than an individual having a terrible credit score with a bank.”

Stephen Disson, the defending producer, told the New York Daily News it was Baiul’s manager who reached out to him to book her on the shows. He then agreed to send a contract and was later told that she “no longer wanted to do the shows” by her manager.

In November of 2012, the figure skater sued the William Morris Endeavor Agency for withholding $1 million owed to her after taking advantage of the fact that she did not understand the terms of her contract because of her poor English skills.

Baiul claimed the agency owed her money for several projects - including a jewelry line and two books - and that the agency used language in the contracts that was difficult for her to comprehend at the age of 16, when she first signed with them. The suit also stated that the agency distributed portions of her earnings to people she did not even know.

The 35-year-old reportedly discovered the discrepancy when she hired a new finance manager last year, who then began looking into her earnings.
